 Posted: Fri Jun 30, 2006 7:56 am Post subject: A SCADA Security Course by InfoSec Institute |
 |

"Homeland Security" demands have necessitated demands for extra security in SCADA systems. For example, the hijacking of a SCADA system in a nuclear-generating plant or air-traffic control station could have severe consequences.
The InfoSec Institute provides training for SCADA security:

SCADA, DCS and other process control networks, generically called SCADA, run the nation’s mission critical infrastructure, everything from the power grid to water treatment, chemical manufacturing to transportation. These networks are at increasing risk due to the move to standard protocols, the Microsoft OS and interconnection to other networks. Learn the skills required to direct and manage the appropriate cyber security protection for your SCADA system.
Today, IT departments and the classic IT security approach is wreaking havoc with SCADA systems. Too often, IT ‘fixes’ bring a SCADA system down, but avoiding or ignoring cyber security is not an option. Learn how standard IT security solutions can be used in SCADA systems and where SCADA specific security controls and practices are required. This course will teach you to develop a SCADA cyber security program and work with internal and external IT resources to implement the program.
SCADA Security Training Program Details:
The three day program will include classroom instruction and many architecture and implementation labs. Some of the labs will be hands-on with common SCADA security components. At the end of the third day students will take a SCADA Security Professional certification exam.
Some of the hands on labs included in the comprehensive 3 day training curriculum:
* Design a SCADA Security Policy
* Implement access control to field devices with Microsoft Active Directory
* Intercept and analyze Modbus/TCP network traffic with a sniffer
* Initiate unauthorized commands to field device
* Setup and configure a Modbus/TCP firewall
* Take home a limited use copy of Triangle MicroWorks SCADA simulator
for independent study at your home and/or office
